Woven in the Zari Kattam tradition, the royal violet-purple body carries a fine antique-gold zari grid with spaced small zari buttas. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: Varisaipet border built from repeated antique-gold zari rows, ornamental floral registers and geometric lines, finished with a narrow deep-green edge.
Pallu: Rich multi-register antique-gold zari pallu with alternating linear bands and repeating bird-and-floral ornament on the purple ground.
Styling: Pair the royal purple with a deep green blouse for a sharper contrast, or choose antique gold for a more ceremonial finish. Temple jewellery, a sleek bun and fresh jasmine keep it traditional; a plain high-neck blouse with restrained earrings makes the Varisaipet border feel more contemporary.
A strong choice for Navratri cultural evenings, Vijayadashami, Diwali gatherings, temple programs, classical music or dance events, weddings and receptions.
